Apple Computers
Apple Computers' policies dictate their manufacturing processes, materials that they can use, as well as outline a plan for recycling their products. According to Apple, they have enforced some form of environmental policy since 1990[1]. The company has received a lot of criticism for their minimal amount of effort in environmental coservation. In a survey issued by Greenpeace investigating the use of toxic chemicals and recycling, the company was the worst of 14 dominant electronics manufacturers [2]. Despite organizations like Greenpeace's open disapproval of Apple's environmental practices, the company has continued to do only the bare minimum of policy and procedure changes to abide by U.S. law [3].
Subaru
Subaru has been a major player in the green revolution. Advanced policies which include recycling, reducing harmful emissions, educating their employees, and continuing their efforts have helped them in their environmental initiatives[4]. Subaru has a zero landfill waste plant in Lafayette, Indiana- a significant step in the car manufacturing business and plans to have the vehicles they sell in each state meet the standards of California and New York [5].The company has also developed energy efficient hybrid vehicles as well as a recycling plan for their "end-of-life" cars [6].
nVidia
nVidia's environmental efforts are employee driven and focus on the formula "reduce, reuse, recycle." A big part of their environmental program involves applying that formula not only within the company's offices, but also with customers, partners, and vendors [7]. nVidia is involved with the Electronic Industry Code of Conduct which supports environmental awareness and responsibility in its partners [8]. nVidia also partners with Sony, who is very particular about their involvement with companies- expecting them to meet their environmental standards. Sony appreciates nVidia's energy saving products and environmental policies [9]. The employees at nVidia are continually driving the company's efforts to go green [10].
